Skysaver: Highrise Building Rescue Escape Device

SkySaver is the ultimate personal rescue device for anyone who lives, works, or visits multi-story buildings and needs to safely escape a fire or other disaster. It was developed by safety and security experts, including Yaakov Nakash, former Lieutenant General in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who served as Commander of the Technical Development Department.

The SkySaver portable escape system can easily be stored in your home or office. It is lightweight, self-contained, easy to use, and can carry up to 300 lbs in weight.

In the event of an emergency, simply strap on the backpack, attach the fire-resistant cable to a secure anchor point, exit the nearest window, and the SkySaver will slowly and automatically lower you to safety.

You don’t need assistance or training to use SkySaver – it’s easy and safe. SkySaver uses a controlled descent device and an automatic braking system that allows you to descend at a safe speed of up to 2 meters a second. The backpack contains a strong fire-resistant cable which can be attached to a secure anchor point inside the building near the window.
